Juventus and Atalanta target West Ham defender Jean‑Claude Todibo

Italian clubs Juventus and Atalanta are engaged in a transfer race for French centre‑back Jean‑Claude Todibo, currently with West Ham United. The English club has set a price between €17 million and €20 million and indicated willingness to consider offers. Juventus appears to have a slight edge, but both Serie A sides must first free up defensive slots and balance their budgets through other sales.

Atalanta’s sporting director also warned that the club is preparing for a possible departure of Albanian defender Berat Djimsiti, who has attracted interest from Al‑Diriyah. As a contingency, Atalanta is monitoring Danish centre‑back Thomas Kristensen and keeps Todibo as a high‑profile alternative despite his Premier League wage demands.
